XP SP3 install problem on my presario SR1550NX with proc AMD desktop computer.

When installing service pak 3 full and is restarting my system will go up only in safe mode, no error message that I can understand.  It lasts for quite awhile and I've tried several things without success.  Everything works well with SP2 but want to install some latest updates for some of my programs, which often need SP3.

Here is a support article of MS

I suggest that you download the SP3, then burn it to a CD.

PS > I did successfully this SP3 update on many computers by using a CD.

    I have a new HP Envy with Windows 8 desktop computer that still does not run properly. I have rebooted, restored (im doing this), ran chkdsk, sfc/scannow, malware, virus, uninstall/install etc and my machine wil always do not run for a long time without going through some sort of problem after an hour or two.  Can anyone suggest what to do about this? I read a lot of information online on all the windows 8 and fixes bugs, etc, but anything Microsoft/Windows, which ensures its customers, a hotfix or compesating their customers with software that still works. This isn't a hardware problem, and I can't keep day and bad shooting and trying to fix the day things in?

    Sincerely,
    A client who is a loss for words.
    Here are some problems in no particular order.
    1.) apps to not install it, and/or Windows saying they are when they are in fact not. The fix to install / uninstall, or get on the site of windows directly in general does not, and or does not at all.
    The change permissions 2.) does not work on files that you should be able to access in changing oxnership, permissions, etc.
    3.) Google chrome won't let me access my account of microsoft (or fact rarely) trying to access assistance. But internet Explorer doesn't?
    Randomly will increase from Internet 4.) a previous connection wired to wireless to a reboot.
    5.) my 8 'key' windows was only shown to me after that I have let Windows scan my machine online? Why? I paid for this... I restarted it and it says: service not available (it worked the third attempt which was 1-3 minutes after the initial analysis). Windows only showed my product ID not the key. I know that my victory. 8 was OEM when preinstalled I bought it new, but why didn't we files on it that had nothing to do with activation, appearing on dates for three weeks, or so before I bought it. What is the 'activation of the factory'?
    6 :) Windows Essentials does not hang for a long time, and the troubleshooterprogram of update simply does not work (I had to go to the website to try tp operate, the bluetooth functionality is not good that there is an error.
    7.) windows scan and repair gets stuck at 27% (Im not the only one with this problem).
    8.), avery MS Office 2013 Disappears so often and not easy to reload "we have encountered a problem.
     

    The computer manufacturer is responsible to see that it works properly with Windows 8. It says that it is a new computer I contact HP and make these problems their. If you don't get satisfactory results I turn and look elsewhere for a computer. Hope this helps and if you need another post to help and we will be happy to help you.

  • Can I use Microsoft Windows 7 Home Premium Upgrade Family Pack (3 users) to install Windows 7 Edition home premium 64 on a desktop computer running the OEM version of Windows Vista Home Premium 32?

    My desktop system is an Acer E700 Intel Quad Core 2.4 GHz with 4 GB of RAM and 1 Gig video running Vista Home Premium OEM 32 version. I plan to upgrade the hard disk of 1 tetrabyte before upgrading the OS.  If so, how should I do this?  I have to restore the backup to disk to the new disk before update for Window 7 64?

    My second office is already running Vista Home Premium 64 so this upgrade using the family must be right before correct?  Or do I need to backup to the subject programs before moving to Win7 64?

    Thanks in advance.

    You will need to do a reformat to perform installation and you reinstall the applications.  There has never been a way to upgrade from x 86 to x 64.  You will need to do is use your x 64 media to install Windows 7 on new hard drive, use your product key on the certificate of authenticity located on the side of the Acer desktop computer.  You will always be the OEM license terms, as you install the same Windows SKU.  Product keys are interchangeable between x 86 and x 64, but you will probably need to call to activate Windows after installation - usually the Internet activation does not work on current versions of Windows using the seller great modes of action.

  • problem of memory with a single desktop computer in a pool

    Hello

    I have a user who is faced with problems of performance due to an error, "not enough virtual memory." I guess it's an indication that the office is exhausting its memory resources. That being said, I have about 200 other workstations are well-developed. I don't want to increase the amount of physical and virtual memory on the virtual computer parent as a means of remidying one of the problems of performance to users. can I safely increase memory just on this particular vm through the settings-> memory by using the vsphere client? other recommendations? any idea would be appreciated.

    Cheers.

    You can increase the memory of the way you specified, but remember that it will be by default when you refresh or redial this VM.

  • Possible to install the faster processor on r: Hp Pavilion a714x desktop computer

    My computer tells me that I have an AMD Athelon XP 3100 + 2.20 GHz. When I went online to search for the processor I couldn't find it on the site Web of AMD. The Council is an A7VBX - LA and I want to run faster. Basically, I can't afford a new computer. A site was told that she could support up to a 3200 + processor, although I don't know where to find one, or if they make them even more. If anyone has any idea on the subject I could sure use help. Thank you.

    Kenneth, here are the pages of Product Specifictations for your computer.  Here's what it says in the link card motherboard:

    Socket has

    Supports the AMD Athlon XP Processor 3200 + (2.20 GHz/400 MHz/core Barton)

    • Athlon XP 3200 + Barton Processor (2.20 GHz, 400 MHz)
    • Athlon XP 2700 + Thoroughbred (2.16 GHz 333 MHz) processor
    Because it will allow only for a XP 3200 +, you will not see an improvement in performance, if you upgrade.  There are simply not enough of a difference in the two processors.

  • I have XP SP2 and am unable to install SP3. Problems with Windows install & download manager.

    I rebuilt a laptop from scratch using XP Home.  Currently, no software beyond basic MS core apps.  Not even MS Office.  I am trying to activate the automatic updates.

    The error messages that I get point to Windows Installer and/or MS Download Manager, but these same problems prevent me from deleting/updating install or Download Manager.

    If I run FixIt to activate the automatic updates to download SP3, the following error message is returned:
    _Windows Installer_
    The Windows Installer Service could not be accessed.
    This can occur if Windows Installer is not correctly
    installed.  Contact your support team.

    If I try to manually download the SP3 (WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3 - x 86 - ENU.exe), the following error is returned:
    _Microsoft download Manager_
    There was a problem opennig the Microsoft Download Manager.
    Update your computer with Windows Service Pack 2 or later version to download
    files using the Microsoft Download Manager.

    I think I'll through in circles.   I need SP3 for automatic updates, but impossible to install SP3 since SP3 is not installed.  I must be missing something obvious, but I simply cannot get by.  I'd appreciate any help - thanks.

    OK, I followed the link clicked on download, saved on my desktop, then tried to start the installation.  The returned message is:

    It is often the result of a corrupted download. Please restart the download. If this fails, you can try download with another browser such as Firefox or Chrome?

    Another possibility is malware that you have scanned with your preferred 'egi' software?

    If the previous step fails, then it is possible that some third-party programs installed on the computer is causing the problem.

    I suggest that you configure the computer in a clean boot state and check if it helps.

    To help resolve the error and other messages, you can start Windows XP by using a minimal set of drivers and startup programs. This type of boot is known as a "clean boot". A clean boot helps eliminate software conflicts.

  • Recovery/install problems

    If you have patience and think you can help please read this, perhaps, long-winded description of the problem I'm having.

    I have a HP Compaq Presario CQ56 Notebook that has a Windows 7 operating system installed by the manufacturer.  I was told about this forum, after long discussions, that the laptop probably caught a virus and must be restored to factory settings.  I have the DVD of 4 necessary recovery I made when the laptop was new and after that make a full backup I ran the recovery DVDs. They went through a little more than an hour without a hitch and then the laptop started the implementation process.  Shortly after the introduction stopped and a message appeared on the screen indicating that the establishment had not finished.  The reasons given were that "a file without a name is not found" and "uiadump32.exe has stopped working".  -Re, I ran the discs twice with the same results.

    Because I have a retail copy of the installation disc of Windows 7 which has been purchased for the PC of my wife, I tried to do a fresh install. It seemed to go ok until I tried to connect to the internet when the laptop reported that there was a problem with network card, perhaps a driver missing.  Without being able to connect to internet, I was stuck.  I thought I would try the procedure to upgrade with the Windows disk, but I found that I couldn't do it because, it seems, you must have an operating system to be upgraded.

    Fortunately, with the help of a system repair disc, I came across how to restore the old system of my back upwards, which put everything back to as it was, complete with the virus of course.  Is there a way around the problem of the uia that will allow me to recover the laptop to factory settings? Also, am I missing something with the network adapter problem if I have to settle for a new installation? Clearly, the network card works now the laptop runs on the old set to the top.

    Assistance would be welcome, but you probably meet from what I wrote, I'm not very computer wise.  So a full explanation on the steps I need to take would be more than useful. Thank you for taking the time to read this.

    I'm confused.  There may be a missing story background.  What have you done to disinfect your computer?  What antivirus and other security software is installed?

    Perhaps the answer is to solve the problem, rather than trying to re - install drastic.

    Provide me with the details of the software that you have installed, and I'll make some recommendations for cleaning.

  • HP Deskjet 3070 (All-in-one/Wireless) install problem Win 7 64

    Hello world

    I wonder if others have had similar problems or ideas on the underside, surely I can't be the only one to use this installation/suffering with this problem.

    Printers: HP Deskjet 3070 All in One (USB/Wifi)

    Operating systems: Windows 7 64-bit (installed absolutely fine on Win 7 32 bit laptop computer connected via wifi).

    Setup: - a Homehub BT, providing WiFi for laptop (Win7 32 bit), a desktop computer (WinXP SP3), the printer has an IP address, which is visible on the home network map - it has a MAC address also. My PC: connected by Ethernet to the homehub which is currently running wifi for all of the foregoing.

    Drivers using downloaded: -.

    + Computer laptop Win 7 32 bits connected via WiFi to the Homehub - installed fine, found printer - this is the stage where the printer receives a configuration intial IP address / completed.

    + WinXP SP3 connected through WiFi to Homhub - as above, correct, opportunity driver found the printer (which, at this time already, there).

    If the printer exists within the network, other computers can see / use it.

    ++ My PC: Win 7 64 bit connected by ETHERNET to Homehub (she does not and will not have a wireless option).

    Downloaded the drivers to install HP. (later tried "Run as Administrator"), select the software components (i.e. Remove feedback/coupons etc), installs OK applications, next step is the configuration of the printer. Add a new printer. "Check network" window appears with the message "Checking network environment" bar and the State. The status bar springs upward but stops dead at the filled Stadium. No possibility to choose whatever it, pressing Cancel has no effect. End of task here generates an error of 'work '. 'devicesetup.exe' stopped The installer never ends, applications are installed, but at no time, it shows the printer/selection.

    I tried many things: complete uninstall "engines", which in this case seem to be the only applications, ensure that all non-essential startup items are disabled, make sure that the firewall is DISABLED (just to be sure), ensure that the anti-virus is disabled there is, in fact, no other printer installed (this computer never had a printer attached to it) make sure file sharing and printing are powered, ensure that there is no TCP/IP/ports printers mapped etc... Still the same error, old or new drivers, always the same - installation does not complete.

    All the doctor diagnostic tools/printing tell me I have to install the driver software (I agree) but direct me to the HP site to download the ones I already have.

    I can't enter the Server Web integrated (the PC where I can't install the drivers, or one of the 2 PC's who have installed correctly). One of them if I click on networking or wireless or advanced it warns a HTTPS connection and then fails with "internal server error".

    My questions to someone kind enough to read this wall of text: -.

    + Anyone has any ideas please? I would prefer not to return the printer as defective because it seems to be a good all-rounder and it works for 2 other PCs in the House, its just mine which does not connect! Sad...

    I'll try the USB installation and then removing the USB-> wireless to see if that can help. I had previously seen articles where people offer to buy a router to 3rd party like that is basically a wifi pass through broadcaster. It is not for me thanks

    Thank you all for reading at least, it's now corrected with slightly reduced functionality.

    Install the USB printer, then DO NOT convert into wireless via HP drivers/installation.

    Change the USB to a TCP/IP port port newly created under the control panel of the printer (windows 7), enter the IP manually to the printer - you want an IP address that will change not in order to make this work - forcing the Home Hub to never provide that the same IP unique to this particular device was the easiest way for me. This connected but showed as offline printer constantly, others may have different experiences.

    To fix that (for me): -.

    Installing the printer in Control Panel Goto, force reinstall drivers HP ("via the drive"). Make sure that all the old files are overwritten. Turn the printer and then turn on (power button - twice if in mode "standby" to disable). Wait until the wireless light will stop flashing and become solid blue. Check in Control Panel if the status is online, if so you are good to go

    As a result of this sabotage, you lose the feature advanced scan for PC etc etc, but the real impression seems to be absolutely perfect. The printer is always available to everyone on the network, etc.

    Good luck to all.

    Alex
